1991 Matchbox MB38 MLB Montreal EXPOS mip
WHITE ROSE 1991 SERIES
MB38 MONTREAL EXPOS
1 out of 26 in this series.
Box shows shelf wear and the
cellophane has become brittle.
These were not retailed in usual stores.
White Rose was commissioned by Matchbox
to produce and market special collectible
series, such as Sports and NASCAR etc.
These models were usually only available
at the events, souvenir vendors etc.
(also marketed for mail in)
This model is specially unique as the
Montreal Expo's are no longer in Montreal.
Expo's were sold to Washington DC in 2005, Montreal said they did not want baseball back even if they were asked. With the city jilted over the last ten years of star players being dealt away and a perception that MLB wanted to destroy the franchise chances are their will not be an interest any time soon for Major League Baseball to return, so the possibility of Montreal ever getting a new team is remote at best. Own a piece of history!
